President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating is weakening faster in Seoul than in Daegu-North Gyeongsang, a traditional conservative stronghold, suggesting that dissatisfaction is spreading beyond the liberal bloc's usual weak areas. Seoul's positive rating fell to 29% in both a Realmeter survey and a Gallup Korea survey, while Daegu-North Gyeongsang recorded 29.4% and 34%, respectively. In the Gallup Korea polling, Seoul's positive rating dropped 9 percentage points in one week, whereas Daegu-North Gyeongsang was unchanged. Analysts link the shift to worsening moderate-voter assessments of daily-life economic policies, including housing, and to the second round of cabinet appointments. They say a sustained loss of moderate support beginning in Seoul could make an approval-rating rebound difficult.
